### Procurement Information

Single supplier - technical reasons Traditional methods rely on periodic clinician assessments, which can miss early signs of infiltration or extravasation, leading to serious complications such as skin necrosis, nerve damage, or medication dosing errors. The ivWatch Patient Monitoring System provides continuous, non-invasive monitoring using optical sensor technology and proprietary algorithms to detect infiltrations at their earliest stages, often before visible signs are present. iv.Watch technology has demonstrated exceptional clinical value in preventing infiltration and extravasation injuries associated with peripheral intravenous (PIV) therapy. This innovation enhances patient safety, reduces liability, and complements clinician assessments, addressing the limitations of periodic monitoring. Research has been carried out on the benefits of the iv Watch technology and can be found in the British Journal of Nursing: British Journal of Nursing - Addressing and mitigating the high costs of extravasation and infiltration to patients and healthcare organisations Due to the absence of competition for technical reasons and that the Manufacturer is only just entering the UK market, only this supplier/distributor can supply the goods required.
